ton on the 2d and 9TH of July last He said
the sentence would be one year in jail-six
months for each count. An appeal was noted
and the case will be carried to the criminal
court This case has excited uncommon In

utation The decision of the higher court
will be awaited with great interest.

RAwIINs, Wy. T, Aug 20.-The mail
coach that arrived here Friday night was es
corted out fifteen miles from Meeker by
heavy guard The business men and large
property holders declare there is no Indian
war The militia will perhaps try to drive
the Indians from the state, when the war
will begin in earnest. Every thing points to
the fact that ColorOw, having dug up the
hatchet, the Utes must now and forever be
driven out
Settlements in Bear and Snake rivers will
no doubt be destroyed and many people
killed as the state militia and a few volun-
teers will be no match for the Indians.
Everything in northwestern Colorado Is all
excitement The people are leaving their
homes and crops for places of safety, while
the Indians are receiving reinforcements
from UIntah and Uncompahgre agencies.
The outlook is anything but pleasant
DENVER, Col, Aug. 20.-The most sensa-
tional news from Sieeker is that which
reached Glenwood about midnight to the
effect that Sheriff Kendall and nine men
went out on a reconnaissance and were am
pushed in the rear. They made a gallant
fight for their lives, and finally returned with
four men wounded slightly and three of their
horses killed This information caused much
excitement at Meeker and courier was
hastily dispatched to Glenwood Springs. Re
ports are current that the Indians are leaving
the reservation in twos and threes, and join
ing Colorow.
Gen. Crook declines to force the Indians
back to their resery alton until the interior
department requests such action. Conse-
quently the state officers have no other course
TO pursue than to drive them out Men are
offering their services by scores, but they
have neither arms nor mounts-two impor-
tant factors hard to obtain
WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 20.-The follow
ing dispatch has been received by the war
department from Maj. James F. Randlett,
dated Fort Duchesne, Aug II: "Old Col
GROW is the mountains to-day, miles from
Meeker. No runners have been in from the
camp McAndrews sent word that he would
go to Colorow's camp and try and
bring him in within three days. l am sure
the Utes do not want further trouble. Will
send next word received from McAndrews."
The McAndrews mentioned in the dispatch is
a citizen who is endeavoring to effect sur
render of the guilty Indians to tie civil
authorities
